Yeah boy. I just got “me” scores online. I actually did really well for an Irish boy living in the midWest. Thanks ePrep.

My son recently got his scores from taking the SAT for his first time. They were 800 Math, 670 CR, 640 W. He wants to retake the SAT to raise his Language scores. What do you think? By the way, he’s taking AP courses and honors courses. His grades are ok; but not great. Thanks so much for your guidance.

Carol,
Congratulations! Your son did exceptionally well. Here are my thoughts on improving the language scores.
1) With practice and review, he should be able to get the writing score into the 700s in just a few weeks. I have seen plenty of kids make the jump from the 600s to the 700s in a short period of time. Thus, if he is thinking about taking the SAT again in either May or June, he should definitely focus on writing.
2) Getting the critical reading score into the 700s is possible, but preparing may take a bit longer. I suggest that he spend the summer reading widely and building his vocabulary. If he uses his time in the summer well, he should be able to bump up his critical reading score in the fall. If he takes my advice and prepares the “right” way — by reading widely and building his vocabulary — he will gain the added benefit of being better prepared for senior year, college, and life beyond.
Good luck. I hope to hear from you again soon.

My daughter recently received her SAT scores of 710 math,
730 critical reading, and 800 writing. She was unable to
take the scheduled PSAT’s and never took an SAT prep class.
She’s wondering if she should sit on the scores she has or
try to raise her math and critical reading. Collegeboard’s
stats say that she is more likely to slightly lower her score
than raise it if she takes it again. Should she go for the
elusive perfect score, or will her current scores likely get
her some decent scholarships?

Sue,
What a wonderful dilemma. As a parent myself, I am jealous!
If it were my daughter, I think I would have her sit on the scores. I don’t think they will keep her out of her schools of choice. In other words, it is her grades, recommendations, and extracurricular activities that will make or break her in the admissions game.
I would have her focus on crushing either the Math Level 1 or 2 subject test and one other.
That being said, if she thinks she can do it, I wouldn’t hold her back.
Good luck. Please let me know what you ultimately decide.

Thanks so much for the advice. She is planning to take two
subject tests in the fall…math and science…because one
of the colleges she is interested in strongly recommends it.
Her math scores are usually pretty good, but it’s still her
weakest subject. I’m sure she’ll be looking for a prep class for
the subject tests. She takes all IB (international baccalaureate)
classes, is a tri-captain on the swim team, and is very involved
in music, school clubs, and other extracurricular activities.
I believe she’s in the top 2% of her class gradewise.
As a parent, it’s sometimes hard to put it all in perspective
and figure out where she is overall and how she might do in
the college application process, but it sounds like she’s on
the right track. Thanks again for your insight into her scores!
